What 츈 means
츈 is an older Hangul spelling associated with 春, meaning spring.
The Korean pronunciation dictionary 동국정운 records 츈 in 1448.
A Korean primer, 훈몽자회, glosses 春, the Chinese character for spring, as 봄 츈 in 1527. 봄 is the everyday Korean word for spring.
How is 츈 different from 춘?
츈 is historical; 춘 is the modern counterpart.
Historical text gives 츈향 as an older spelling of 춘향. Keep 츈 when quoting or discussing that older form; use 춘 in ordinary current Korean.
